How come when u open the chess analysis in a game you just played it give white a +1.1 to begin with. Does white have that much of an advantage at the start of the game. If so. If both players played perfectly how is it possible for black to win?

Stop relying on computer analysis.

Its not that im relying on the analysis but it sometimes a good indication of how well one performs or how odds change. Obviously ive won games where the person was leading by alot and then made a false move and ive lost games that were in my favor. So in the post you said that because white cause first they control the tempo?

Computers' suggestions and evaluations in the opening stage do not indicate anything worth talking about. They are useful only for spotting direct, or indirect blunders.

Just open a big chess database (free or not) and see how the big guns are handling the position. They know much more than any engine.

pfren said it better (and more patiently) than I could. I can't believe people rely on computer programs as much as they do for chess analysis. The next time a computer flushes a toilet for you at the wrong time, ask yourself if a machine so dumb that it can't even flush a toilet right is capable of giving you good chess advice.
